@WashedOutGundamPilot @MeBigbrain @chainsaw_appreciator @justnormalkorean I try to mimic a lot of executive management techniques when dealing with my kids. If they are fucking up, I first let them know "hey did you mean to do that thing there?" and then as it goes on, and they aren't self-reflecting I escalate to "this is what I need from you as a member of this family, we all have a role to play, and I expect this minimum from you as a result." As long as I follow up with "I think you can do that, and ideally, you can do this other much more impressive thing", it tends to be received ... "OK".
The major thing is that you can't just hold it in and explode on them, that just proves their own opinions about how you are the unreasonable and stupid parent who doles out love based on their whims. You have to be willing to draw that line and stick to it.
Most parents do not understand that the world is not even remotely the same as it was when they were growing up. The rate of change is insane, and children need that sage parental voice and firm hand in this gay as fuck world, with the knowledge that "yes, I am not a kid, and I don't know exactly what you are going through, but I know a lot, and I will be there for you no matter what". The lack of that creates a vacuum of power which is quickly filled by their peers, and that is a recipe for failure. -

@brimshae @Shadowman311 lmao!! The foliage is one thing which is obvious, but the best thing for me is the absolute schizo road layout on the Haiti side. Just roads put wherever the fuck they needed them at the time with zero planning. -

@sickburnbro @LouisConde @poastoak as the boomers with real work experience retire or die from Ivy League teaching positions, the connections they had no longer exist and the businesses are also defunct, having long since been financed into oblivion. As a result, Harvard becomes about as valuable as your local community college since there isn't some secret curriculum being taught, and the standards have obviously and measurably fallen off as well.
These used to be institutions where the crazy geniuses were literally bought and begged to come work there, since they could be hyper focused on their little slice of whatever thing they were good at, while avoiding the politics present in the public sector. Now, everything sucks.
Its hard to overestimate the level of shit we are going to be in once the consequences of this come to pass. Even articles like this palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis/ understate the severity. Its not just complex systems, its basic reward pathways which are breaking down. The fact that I'd rather take investing and housing advice from Nick Rochefort instead of a Harvard grad just puts me ahead of the curve. People still screaming at the credentialed when shit starts breaking down are going to be severely disappointed. -

@Eiregoat My Jewdar is off the charts looking at that phenotype. Also all members of the Dáil are supposed to know Gaeilge, but its a loosely enforced rule at best. -

@sickburnbro google drive just made waves for losing months of customer data. That has never happened before, and when you have a system that important, the amount of safeguards that had to be not working is insane.
Poo in loo indeed. -

@jimmybuffettfanaccount @monsterislandcolonizer @nugger @Paultron @Griffith @Ariovistus @IAMAL_PHARIUS there is also the problem of sustaining these places economically (let's pretend taxes don't play a huge role here and think only bare minimum), and more importantly, making it a place where young people want to stay and settle down.
The cachet of "away from ZOG" will wear off sooner than we think once we populate these places, and kids will want the cultural and economic pull that other, bigger cities offer.
Personally, I think that creating a complex small scale manufacturing business which can be dropped into these dead towns to revitalize them should be a prerequisite to even considering migration. Something like small town RISC-V manufacturing, with a healthy apprenticeship culture so all sorts of interests can find a place to make an impact on the folk who live there. -
